How's Your Epresence? With Mark Galvin

Hello How’s Your ePresence listeners! Welcome to our news update, where we discuss the biggest stories in social media- all in ten minutes. On this episode, we take a more somber note to lament the death of one of basketball’s finest, Kobe Bryant.   After the legend’s death late Sunday afternoon, every social media outlet was bursting with commentary on the unexpected tragedy. Unfortunately, amidst the millions who posted tokens of love and remembrance, there were several rude internet trolls. We take time on this podcast to discuss social media etiquette and ethics, especially in the wake of big news. Additionally, we take a minute to discuss the rise of Tik-Tok, and how social media is turning to a more talent-focused than status-focused approach.   Quote of the podcast: “One of the greatest things about social media is that everyone has a voice and can weigh in with the global community.”   Links:  https://www.wral.com/young-athletes-mothers-baseball-coach-died-with-kobe-bryant-in-helicopter-crash/189120
